>> i will start with the good news. most educators are applauding the biggest portion of the state budget, k-12 is one of the few areas to escape major cuts. kindergarten through high school is funded at about the same level as this year. this is only if voters pass a package of tax measures in june. if voters don't agree to extend taxes that are otherwise set to expire, schools would face an additional $2 billion in cuts. to put it in perspective, according to the mercury news, that's almost $11 million for a district the size of san jose unified. that would mean larger classes and more furlo days. on the other hand if voters approve the tax extension, k-12 would be spared. also the governor's budget does not include cost of living raises. when it comes to higher education, college students would take a significant hit.

both the university of california and california's state university systems would be cut by $500 million. funding would be slashed by $400 million with per unit fees increasing by $10. coming up in our 6:00 hour, i will break down the tax portion of the governor's bunl et from income tax to licensing fees. >> thank you very much. it's 5:47 and the city of san carlos is looking for a helping hand. the city is looking to trim the budget by contracting fire services from redwood city. they could save about $400,000 a year. san carlos teamed up with belmont to fight fires and went their separate ways when they couldn't agree on funning they are trying to develop a regional fire department to serve all three cities with potential cost savings. >> help is on the way for 100,000 people who need a hand

claims saying the cabbie was not at fault. jessy and linda thought they were getting into a cab run by desoto >> it was a regular cab, yeah. >> with a reputable name. >> turns out cabbies can run one man, one-car operations as long as they meet city, permit, and license requirements and use the same name as a well-known company like desoto if no one else in the city has that name. many bay area cities operate the same way. >> that say weird quirk of the taxi industry. >> yes, but it's a weird quirk. >> berkeley leaders refused the request for an interview, but they are reviewing the ordinances. we asked the spokesman how riders can protect themselves. >> the bottom line is to make sure you see the city and wherever you are. >> they have to carry liability insurance that pays a max of
